Summary

Bringing Leisure Suit Larry back from the dead - or at least back from the '80s - was a bit of a surprise move on the part of developer Crazy Bunch. Larry Laffer, for those who aren't old enough to have been playing games back in the 1980s, was a leisure suit wearing would-be playboy with one thing and one thing only on his mind - getting some action (of the naked variety, if we weren't being clear) via the medium of point and click adventure. Of course, the '80s weren't the most sexually enlightened time by today's standards, so bringing Larry back a couple of decades into the 21st century was a brave move.

Thankfully, Crazy Bunch hasn't ignored the three decades that have passed since Larry's heyday, and while double entendre and sex gags abound, Larry is at least trying to be a 20th century man. Unfortunately for him, he does have a lot of catching up to do - Larry has been trapped and held hostage in a lab since the '80s, so when he emerges into a world of online dating, sex positivity and LGBT-friendliness. Fortunately, he quickly meets the woman of his dreams in the form of Faith, a figure revered at the world's premier tech company, Prune. To prove that he's got what it takes to date her, Larry must go out with as many women as possible through the app Timber, and the game is off to the races.

As in the series' glory days, things play out in the form of a classic point and click adventure with lovable cartoon graphics. Can you drag Larry into the 21st century?
